Answer to Problem 36EP
The plot between the available head and the capacity of the pump is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The shutoff head is
Write the expression for the required head using the energy balance equation.
Here, the initial pressure is
Write the expression for the roughness factor.
Here, the diameter of the pipe is
Write the expression for the minor losses.
Here, the minor loss coefficient at pipe entrance is
Write the expression for the frictional loss head.
Here, the friction factor is
Write the expression for the available head.
Here, the shutoff head is
Write the expression for the capacity.
Substitute
Write the expression for the Reynolds number.
Here, the density of the water is
